Navan** - the default recommendation for most small businesses. Travel booking, policy rules, and approvals are genuinely free for companies up to ~300 employees; you only pay ($15/user/mo) if you add full expense management, and even that's free for up to 5 users. Good inventory, 24/7 agent support, solid integrations. Highest review volume and satisfaction in the category. Start here unless you have a specific reason not to. ([navan.com/pricing](https://navan.com/uk/pricing), [costbench.com](https://www.costbench.com/software/expense-management/navan/))\n\n**2. Perk (formerly TravelPerk)** - the strongest alternative, and better than Navan if you're Europe-heavy or book a lot of rail. Note the name: TravelPerk officially rebranded to **Perk** in November 2025 after acquiring AmTrav and Yokoy, so you'll see both names in search results. Deepest inventory (including trains across Europe), excellent flexible-cancellation product (FlexiPerk), strong policy compliance. Pricing is per-booking rather than per-seat, which suits lumpy travel.
